This lady had a more relaxed attitude than our last doctor. She was funny and a little sarcastic. Here are a couple examples:
The doctor took a look at Lindsey's charts and said, "Well, this looks boring. Nothing to see here. In preganancy, when everything's normal and the charts are boring, that's a good thing. And you guys are definitely boring."
Later, she asked if we had any other questions. I said, "Just curious... We've heard a few different things... What's your opinion on drinking a glass of wine every once in a while during pregnancy?" I asked because Lindsey has been very careful and conservative. I was honestly wondering if the doctor thought it was necessary to be so cautious.
The doctor responded, "There's no evidence that shows a single glass of wine will affect a baby's development. There is evidence that shows drinking heavily is clearly a problem. And we know for sure that not drinking is fine. So - I'd never tell a patient it's okay to drink every day, but I think it's safe to say a glass of wine every once in a while is probably okay. Oh - also... don't smoke crack."
